I will admit, there are some stuff in Sense that makes me go "Oooooooh!" But the minimalist in me demands moar performance so yeah :D

Masterleron, thanks for the great ROM. It runs great although I have one minor issue and it's something that I brought up earlier. It's the DSP manager. I'm compared it to Mimicry 1.5.0 and although they're the same version, the one in your ROM kinda muffles the bass when I apply Slight Bass Boost in the headphones section. When I apply either moderate or extreme, I can hear, but it almost sounds like it's extremely hollow. The bass effects in Mimicry was clear and noticeable. I want to say it's something with the binaries(If it's even such a thing) or something. If I knew how to fix it, I wouldn't be asking you but could you please look into it when you have the spare time? Thanks for your work once again!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
Ok ill have another look.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SRIBrian:
Best ROM by far that I've ever used on the G2!

Masterleron, last night I installed your ROM on my G2 and I must say I am amazed! I've been using Mimicry 1.5 and have tried Flinney's CM10 and ASOP builds...your ROM blows them away! I feel that I now have a new phone. THANK YOU! To me what's even more incredible is that you are only 13yrs old. You have an incredible future ahead of you. I would not be surprised if you become the next Steven Jobs. BTW, as an old man who has been around I encourage you to use your gifts to help others. Bless you in all you do! (Ecclesiastes 5:10-11; 11:9-10 and 12:1-14) ;)

Thanks for your nice words, they inspire me to develop more:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cain1:
new features very nice but rom little bit slowly
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Hey, wanted to know if it would be too much of a hassle to add in a feature, specifically, holding down the volume keys to switch tracks. I loved that feature and it doesn't seem like I'll be able to get it without all the extra code in CM and all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Photopuppet:
Stick to your guns! I think most people prefer fast performance and 'boring' over lots of unnecessary eye candy and sluggishness..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
I tried. But it does not seem to be working on our device, sorry. *edit* Works but only when screen is off.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
I thought it just involved remapping the vol long press to the headset key functions?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cain1:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BrianMay:
I finally installed this rom and it is very smooth and so far everything has been great appart from two things:

1. there are no settings inside gallery

2. can't sync facebook with people's contacts, pictures and so on...nor skype or viber...I do have skype contacts on contact list, but I have to select that account, there is no merging options (that's a big no for me as I am used to have all accounts merged into one contact)

any way of solving at least #2?

thanks for this rom!!!

T9 Dialer

Also no T9 dialer for me ... also nothing found in the settings to activate it ...

Battery drain is also massive ... the phone lasts only 10 - 12 hours without reconnecting it to the power plug

@Masterleron could you add this feature in 1.6.0 and do a deep dive into the battery challenge?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] derboller:
i can confirm this. works for me too on 1,5
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
What do you have there instead? Are you in portrait mode when you try this? Also, battery life like that is typical on all JB roms on this phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Technically, that's not possible. I've tried everything short of formatting everything.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cain1:
no t9 dialer me too on 1.5 rom
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
1. Just realized volume skip works, but only if the screen is off. Lol sorry cain, Not sure if that's what you guys wanted though.

2. Battery issue is common amongst all jb roms for our device, try wiping cache and battery stats or installing better battery stats and posting results here. Only after that will problems be dealt with.

3. No contact sync is also a common bug. Install this for a fix: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync. You can merge by going into the contact then menu edit then menu join.

4. Nothing really to say about t9 dialer. Either download a replacement dialer or live without it.

4. Any other queries I'm happy to answer.:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
That's awfully weird. Maybe I'll have to do a full wipe. Oh God, this means I'll have to backup and restore everything again. Or is it possible to just restore data?

As for battery, I rather like my battery life - around 2hrs screen on time, an hour and a half of phone calls.. and that's it. Some music here and there. Google Now is the biggest drain on my battery and that's why I don't complain. It's always looking up the location and all. Also, I'm on 3G wherever I go, cuz I'd prefer not to use my home wifi. And it gives me anywhere from 15-20 hours.

---

Okay, used Titanium to backup everything and restore. I just hope my Whatsapp contact sync hasn't messed up again like it did the last time.

Ah lovely. Vol keys to skip tracks works well. Just needed a full wipe. Anyway, my phone's setup and ready to go :D

dutch dictionary

Hi, thx for the nice rom. Everything works good, but a dutch dictionary is missing. Any idea how to add one to android?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] leikamkei:
I'm with you on that buddy. Just let it play out for the time being :good:

Thnx for rom!

How chrome works on this rom? Is it laggy?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Hey is there any reason the emoji keyboard won't install? I install it but it never sticks, as such.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MonkeySnot:
Yup chrome is very laggy for me, maybe its just my phone though.

But I have to say I'm very impressed with this rom. Overall its smooth and it feels snappy.

The battery life is do-able and not all that awfull.

Thank you OP for this great rom!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] peniu:
As far as I know chrome is laggy on all roms for our device. It's just too heavy.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheRealOne:
Answer

I have the ordinary phone symbol there ... but if you start typing a name in the dial box only the numbers apear but not the name attached to the number ... so it is working normally for a dialbox without the t9 feature ;)

is the quick settings workaround still a valid method with version 1.5.0 to adjust the quick settings? I really miss some buttons there (i.e. enable /disable GPS, turn on /off mobile data on the fly without being forced to switch to the mobile network settings, ... )

besides that a wonderful rom ... great job masterleron
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
Yeah quick settings mod still applies.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] musicmannetje:
I have been using this rom for about a week now, and battery life is really bad. It won't last 6 hours on a full charged battery. Any change of extending that? (Battery calibration app or something)..

Besides this issue it's a great rom!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
That's weird. Something is draining it really bad. I usually have around 13-15 hours entirely on 3G with plenty of sync, a couple of hours of screen on time and an hour or so of calls. This is with Google now on as well, constantly pinging for my location. Try turning it off for starters. Also, cell tower strength, reception, etc play a big role. Since the radio drivers aren't the greatest for us on jelly bean, ( I figure ) this is a cause of battery drain for me personally.

Anyway masterleron, still can't get the emoji keyboard install to stick in the add on dictionary.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] supergear:
Battery is bad on most 4.x roms be it ICS or JB. Buy a spare battery or extended battery would be the best option. Or go back to GB.

Remember battery is only 1300 mAh so i wouldn't expect 24 hours of use on a single charge.6 hours is actually decent if you are using your phone.

Now if it's dying 6 hours on idle time then maybe use SetCPU or something like it.

I get about 4.5 hours streaming radio.

Also If not using DATA turn off mobile data that will save a lot of the battery. When i listen to FM radio i turn off mobile data and get 8+ hours. Also turn auto sync off on all apps.

Tho atm i am using a Sense 4.1 lite ICS 4.0.4 rom (Ionic-OneV MIX) mainly cause i like FM radio and Spirit UI has issues when answer a call when it is on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
Ive only said 2 things in this thread

1: I consider that you should have never said your age (beginning of the thread) because noone really cares.

2: I did not like your attitude (not even related to this thread) in a couple of replies in other threads.

Later, I have no idea what his name is, seems to be following me around or something strange and made disrespectful comments towards me.

That said, hey, maybe you have ported a great ROM here so, since it seems to be faster than other JBs, Ill go ahead and try it.

And to all of you *****ing about battery life, doesnt matter if its this, Finny's, etc, are you hooked 86400 seconds a day to your phone?? You complain about this ROM, which from RAM from start should be very lightweight, and not about Finny's (until he introduced the bluetooth bug)??? I think, besides being AOSP, masterleron's is the best JB ROM right now at battery life. So get off your phones and do something. Any phone should be at least able to last 10-12 hours.....Finny's ROM lasted me from 07:00 to 18:30......and at 30%!

Anyways, Ive downloaded the ROM but havent been able to flash yet....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] senser1080:
I've been using it for the last 4 hours and so far so good. I just wish that you could do the PHABLET UI mode. Sure it saves RAM only having one screen resolution supported, but I liked how ParanoidAndroid had the hybrid UI's and the bottom bar. Do you know if I switch the DPI on my build.prop to 160?

Another small thing is when you hold the home button down, to bring up the app closer menu, you can't close all of them using one button either. Hey as long as it saves as much RAM as possible. How come no GPS toggle on the drop down menu?

Other than that, things seem great, we'll see how the battery life is though.

[MENTION=2450743]Aumkar[/MENTION] Are you talking about just enabling emoji's in the messaging app's settings? Cuz that's how I got mine working.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
No, I already have that enabled. I'm talking about using emoji in other apps like gtalk and all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] supergear:
Port parandroid to the dz/g2 :p

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
Finny's last night got compltely unuseable so I basically HAD to go to this ROM....

Seems pretty solid for now. Quick.I have to test Bluetooth out though. It paired with my car but later didnt autopair for some reason....

Also, god the launcher sucks (not your fault masterleron). Recommendations for alternatives? (Lightweight; I just need really to be able to change how many homescreens I have)

---------- Post added at 09:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 AM ----------

SOme things, this been AOSP:

Remove that damn search bar. Any way to do it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MonkeySnot:
Apex launcher always work for me. With this launcher it is also possible to get rid of the search bar on your homescreen ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
I believe there is a slight battery usage increase in this ROM in general....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] musicmannetje:
have a look at the 360 launcher.. pretty lightweight and imho one of the unknown treasures of the play store..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
Yup Im going to give it some days because battery life seems real bad....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BIade:
Ehhhh, could you plz explain why it is unusable for you?? Are you talking about Build21?? I have no problems at all even no problems with build20...

And for the launcher: get free apex from store.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
Slow, ROM wouldnt booot, etc...

More things:

I remember this AOSP bug that if you press Fn+a number, XDA goes to (for example fn and the number three) print mode. is there any way to fix this?

Why is there a section missing in the settings menu?

Got Apex; pretty good so far
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] senser1080:
Alright my phone should be settled in. I've used it minimally today, wifi on all day and normal usage, messaging, a few calls, instagram and facebook, and I get 6.5 hours of battery life according to the settings counter. This was from a full charge to 8% battery with my CPU set on INTERACTIVE @ 1402 MHz

The camera app is the good one I've used on the G2. It takes quality, but lags on the actual capture. The stock didn't even compare, MIUI was the worst.

The only things I miss is being able to toggle GPS from the drop down menu. Other than that it's a decent ROM so far.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BrianMay:
I've been using it for a couple of weeks and I get at least 18h of battery with about 50 sms, 2h talking, wifi location and mobile data always on...pretty fast and at least 100mb of ram always available (with my previous sense rom,with all the same apps installed appart from the sense o ones I used to have 40/50mb). If I go easy on the talking and sms I get over 24h

It just feels like a new phone
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mohnish.killer:
Miui Notification drawer !

Can we get a port from the MIUI notification drawer style ??

That is THE most useful ... Thing ... for me !!

The reason why i cant settle on other faster Roms !!

Thx !
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] H4rry:
Totally agree with the famous guitarist above. Battery life in this rom is great.

Still loving this rom. Fast and smooth even with no overclock :D

I have noticed a bug of sorts with the gmail notification. If I select archive from the drawer shade then gmail crashes. Could be a gapps error.

One other thing on a different note. Why in all ICS and JB roms are there two colour icons in the notification bar, blue and white. Battery in blue and Gmail in white.

Is there any way to make them all white?

Thanks again masterleron for a great rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] senser1080:
After a few days of use, I'm generally happy.

BUT the big issue is the camera shutter lag! It's EXTREMELY frustrating and annoying to think you captured a great moment when you hear the sound, but the picture is capture after the shutter sound thus creating a blurry pic.

Makes me so sad. Apps that use their own camera (InstaGram, Snapchat, etc don't have this issue, but I'm sure the quality isn't as high).

Could it be my microSD card?

Another bug happens RIGHT after a call ends: the date and time settings will pop up. IDK if it's my digitizer or what.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Yes, the camera shutter lag is annoying as hell. I don't want to use the onscreen button for the camera :(

Also, it's not the digitizer. The proximity sensor shuts off really quick after a call, and as a result the notification shade is dragged down and the ear touches the date and time, which oddly, brings up the settings instead of the calendar.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] superj4:
Same here. Actually, the camera is sometimes so laggy that the flash goes off and only after that the camera takes the picture, resulting in a black photo :D .
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] reaperfromhell:
I've had the exact same problem...

sometimes I manage to take a decent picture with flash after killing ALL other apps... but even this isn't a sure thing!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ElBorba:
Encryption?

I searched but don't see anything threaded. Just loaded the 4.2.2 but I can't seem to encrypt the phone to access my corp email. Is this a known issue. Suggestions?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
What?

Battery life on this ROM is medium towards low. Not the best. Could really use some work in that area....

Please describe further your problem. Do you need to encrypt your email, your phone, decrypt with certificates, etc?

Swap

Is it possible to get swap working with this ROM?

I've used a swap enabler script that has worked on every previous ROM i've used (they've all been sense ROMs though), and I can't get it to work.

Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] H4rry:
Hi ya riahc3.

You may well be right and I possibly have had bad experiences with other roms so my expectations may be lower than yours. In the interest of full disclosure I do use an Anker 1600mAh battery. Some previous roms that I have used were not even close to getting me through the day so I bought these batteries with a charger.

Currently it's 23.30 here atm. My phone is at 55%. Phone is not overclocked. I unplugged it at 08:30 this morning and it has not been charged since.

Blue tooth is on all the time. I control wifi with tasker, it turns on only when I get home (been home 5 hours). Throughout the day I've made a few calls, some whatsapp's, used evernote, browsed the net, used beyondpod 0.5hours pod cast and maybe another half hour reading rss feeds, system sync's at whatever is stock for the apps (email, gmail, weather, Google now, eye in the sky, calendar etc). I also use Gtasks and Notable a lot throughout the day.

I do use Greenify (from here on XDA and play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify&hl=en_GB ) to quite a few apps. (Amazon app store, GMusicFS, Google Play Music, Poweramp and YouTube)

I'm very happy with the battery life so far. If it can be improved, then brilliant. :)

dsp manager

Hey thanks for a good rom. Flashed v1.5.0, everything is butter smooth. Very impressed with this rom. Have one problem though. DSP manager is not working. Toggled all the settings, but no change in the sound! Clear data, force stop, reboot, doesn't seem to fix. Any solution? Have no other eq or dsp engine/app running. Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
Try full wipe, then flash 1.5.0
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rahulkrathod:
yeah i did try full wipe and clean install, but doesn't seem to fix dsp manager. Am i the only one with dsp manager not working?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JPo_23:
This is a really nice ROM, everything working and very smooth. Unfortunately, my battery level plummets like a stone, so this is not usable.

I've used a lot or ROMs and I've never seen battery level go down so fast.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kamild_:
Awesome ROM, very stable and efficient. I can even play Real Racing 3 (after o/c to 1.5GHz) without any "hiccups".

Thanks :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BrianMay:
I noticed a bug in the last couple of days...when I loose gsm connection for a long time (over 30min) when i get back the signal it sometimes won't allow mobile networking until I reboot and if I don't reboot,after 1 ou 2hours it just reboots itself...also during that period wifi strugles to connect

Desire Z using TapaTalk
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] senser1080:
I charged it about half way through like 44% after I got back from the gym on a drive streaming bluetooth audio to my car. Plugged it in using the original charger and it got to 58% when I was taking a shower and getting ready to go out last night. I'm currently posting this at 9% battery. For some odd reason, I perceive the battery to last longer when I use the original charger, vs some cheap one. They both will read 100%, but when charged on the original, it feels like it lasts me a lot longer.

The drop on the second half is where I restarted the phone due to sluggishness from when an app started misbehaving.

Any updates on the camera issue? Sure the G2 camera isn't great to begin with, but I find myself using it quite a bit now days.

Did anyone try [MOD][2013-04-27][V3.00]TURBO BOOST - Triple Swap Space in Cache, Data, System ?

This mod was originally for the Sensation but they list our phone as supported. The thread, however now seems to have disappeared from the Vision dev forum !?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
I'm actually just gonna try it now on this ROM, considering I'll be getting another phone in a couple of days.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ronmq:
I tried, I had more free RAM but the phone wa slower than before, and I deleted the swap partitions.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MonkeySnot:
I had the same issue, it didn't work for me either.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] H4rry:
Thanks guys for that. I'll probably skip it for now. [MENTION=2450743]Aumkar[/MENTION] can you let us know how you get on.

Cheers again guys.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jurajiga:
This ROM works excellent for me!!! very very smooth. nice!

The only thing I found that´s not working so far it´s the voice recognition, any solution?

Thanks boy!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Doesn't make much, or any difference at all. Oh well, I'm getting my Note II tomorrow. I'll be putting this back on stock GB or CM7.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ElectroBeijing:
I wanted to report the same thing. This is probably the smoothest, most usable JB ROM I have used thus far on my G2, but whenever I have the screen on, the battery drops multiple percentage points. Since I also have a Nexus 7, I don't use my G2 as my main device, but I do use it as an iPod, camera, and to read articles on the go sometimes. I keep it in airplane mode all the time (except for WiFi), and the battery still plummets.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] H4rry:
Well I gave the [MOD][2013-04-27][V3.00]TURBO BOOST a try and so far no problems. No slow downs but no amazing surge of speed. I followed the settings that edimonoarfa gave in the following post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41132393&postcount=168

I was having a problem before this mod. If I was listening to podcast with beyondpod and then I switched to Evernote, I found that beyondpod was killed. This doesn't seem to be happening any more. :)
